They reveal Andromeda’s trajectory makes the Andromeda-Milky Way collision inevitable. A pair of colliding galaxies nicknamed 'The Mice', captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. When galaxies merge, stars are incredibly unlikely to collide, due to the vast distances between them. Credit: NASA, ...
Our Milky Way galaxy is a cannibal. It has grown by consuming other galaxies. Yet, it too, may be destined to collide and merge with an even bigger galaxy: Andromeda. Though galaxy collisions are normal events and NASA suspects this collision is inevitable (in billions of years), new ...
Scientists say there's a 50/50 chance that our Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy, challenging previous certainty about this cosmic event.
Milky Way still bears the 10-billion-year-old scars of a galactic collision An international team of astronomers has now found evidence of a celestial smash-up between the Milky Way and an unknown dwarf galaxy that took place around eight to 10 billion years ago, and forever changed the fa...
Andromeda is theMilky Way’s closest majorgalaxy. It measures approximately 152,000 light-years across and, with almost the same mass as our home galaxy, is headed for a collision with the Milky Way in 2-4 billion years. In the meantime, Andromeda remains an object of study for many astr...

NASA scientists announced back in 2012 that our Milky Way is actually on an unavoidable collision course with Andromeda (the gap is closing at 68 miles per second). In about 3.75 billion years, Andromeda will actually beclose enough to dominate the night sky(and will thus be much more visibl...
